Make sure the bowl is placed stably on the
drip tray or the foot of the machine to
prevent it from wobbling or toppling over

a square or rectangular container.

flushing cycle.
7 Descaling
7.0.1 When to descale
Descale the SENSEO ® coffee machine frequently!
Preferably descale 4 to 6 times a year, but at least
once every 3 months. Descaling takes about 1
hour.
7.0.2 Why to descale
Scale builds up inside the appliance during use. It is
essential to descale the SENSEO ® coffee machine
at least every 3 months. Your reasons to descale:
• It prolongs the life of your SENSEO ® coffee
machine
• It ensures maximum cup volume
• It ensures maximum coffee temperature
• The machine produces less sound during
brewing
• It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed
correctly, scale residue remains behind in the
machine. This causes scale to build up more
quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable
damage to the machine.
D Note: (Fig. 22)
After you have cleaned the pod holders, check
if the sieve in the centre is clogged. If this is
the case, unclog the sieve by rinsing the pod
holders under a running tap. Use a washing-up
brush to clean the sieve, if necessary.
8
Clean the water reservoir in hot water, if
necessary with some washing-up liquid. You
can also clean the water reservoir in the
dishwasher. (Fig. 23)
D Note:
If you use a washing-up brush, be careful not
to damage the valve in the bottom of the
water tank.
E Tip:
You can remove the anti-splash rim of the
water reservoir to clean the inside thoroughly.
9
Do not use an object with sharp edges to
clean the water inlet on the machine (Fig. 24).
10
Rinse the parts with fresh water after cleaning
and put them back into the machine.
11
Clean the water distribution disc with a moist
cloth (Fig. 25).
Be careful when you do this; make sure that
the rubber sealing ring does not get stuck
under the edge of the water distribution disc.
If it does, the coffee machine starts leaking.
6.1 Flushing
If you have not used the coffee machine for three
days, flush it with fresh water before you use it
again.
Flush the machine in the following way:
1
Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to
the MAX indication and put it back into the
machine. (Fig. 3)
2
Put the 1-cup pod holder q or the 2-cup pod
holder qq in the machine without pod or
pods.
3
Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least
1500ml) under the coffee spout to collect the
water. (Fig. 7)
